Diagramming Thanksgiving Facts

Here in the United States, we're gearing up for Thanksgiving. But before we stuff ourselves with turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie, let's do a little mental workout. We're going to diagram three sentences.

Directions

Diagram the following three sentences. After you've diagrammed them, identify the function of each word, phrase, and clause. You'll find the answers below.

1. The American colonists used pumpkin in pie crusts, but they did not use it in the filling.

Hello! I'm Elizabeth O'Brien, and my goal is to get you jazzed about grammar.

Thank
you for your diagrams. You sure have been helpful and a great influence
on my class. I got an 87% on my last English test. I was so happy
because it's one of my highest scores. Thanks again!
